Zion and Bryce National Parks

Visit both Zion Canyon and Bryce National Parks. See ancient petrified sand dunes, towering sandstone cliffs, famous and unique Hoodoo formations of Bryce Canyon and take advantage of incredible hiking and walking opportunities.

Bryce Canyon, A giant natural amphitheater created by erosion along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau, Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos. These red, orange, and white spires provide spectacular views for park visitors. Bryce Canyon is considered by many to be the most scenically diverse place in the world!

Cut by the Virgin River, Zion Canyon only 80 miles away from Bryce is an impressive mix of white, pink and red sandstone cliffs. Ancient sand dunes towering over 2000ft above the canyon floor make for an impressive landscape. Stroll around the Emerald Pools or strive to reach the summit of Angel’s Landing, Zion National Park offers enchanting walks & hikes for every fitness level.

Day One

A beautifully scenic 4 hour drive today takes us to an elevation of 8000 ft into Bryce National Park. Take a stroll along the rim and marvel at the unique sandstone spires (hoodoos) that rise dramatically from the natural amphitheater. Hike down into the hoodoos for an up close and personal experience with this fascinating landscape. A soak in the outdoor hot tub back at your camp or hotel will ease those hiking muscles ready for Zion tomorrow! If you are opting to camp, a night around the campfire will end this day nicely.

The next day we head to Zion-Utah’s finest National Park. Massive canyon walls and red sandstone cliffs ascend toward a brilliant blue sky. Challenge yourself to what’s considered the best half day hike in the southwest by hiking a narrow ridge line to Angels Landing. Take it easy exploring the pristine Emerald pools, enjoy a river hike deep in the narrows, weather permitting. Or if you are feeling really adventurous-do all three!

After a full day in Zion we head back to Las Vegas arriving approx 7 pm.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bryce And Zion Tours From Las Vegas:

Q: Why book a Bryce and Zion tour that leaves from Las Vegas?

A: That’s an easy one. Bryce and Zion are only a short drive from Las Vegas, so many people choose to take a few days out of their Las Vegas vacation to explore the beautiful scenery that these National Parks can offer. We can pick you up and drop you off at numerous, convenient locations at major hotels on the Strip, so you can sleep in a luxurious hotel room one night and camp out under the stars of the wide open American Southwest the next night. Additionally, our airport in Las Vegas is a major hub with international traffic. Because it is such a major airport, the majority of flights that land in Las Vegas are significantly less expensive than if you fly into the smaller airports closer to the parks themselves.

Q: How long does it take to get to Bryce and Zion from Las Vegas?

A: It takes a little over two hours to drive from Las Vegas to Zion, and about four hours to drive from Las Vegas to Bryce. The way our tours work, we have found it best to make the four hour trek to Bryce and camp overnight before heading to Zion. We have found that doing it this way gives us the most daylight at each location, and makes the trip home less taxing after two long days of adventure!

Q: Why should I take a tour of Bryce and Zion when I can just rent a car and drive myself?

A: Nobody likes to drive long distances and then go hiking and exploring after driving for hours. Our tours allow you to rest while being transported in comfort to the location, being entertained along the way by our knowledgeable guides who will fill you in about the areas we are going through, the parks themselves and the people who have occupied these areas for thousands of years. Many tour companies put you on a bus and put in a DVD that gives you a scripted presentation about the areas, but Bindlestiff Tours are different. We believe that the only way to fully experience the beauty of these spaces is with a personal guide. That’s why we keep our tour groups small and our tour leaders interacting with you directly. It isn’t about getting a bus ride to the area, it is about experiencing it all. In addition, our guides know the areas personally. We do not hire drivers who just take you to the park to watch through the windows of a bus. We hire the best guides in the business who know these areas from exploring them themselves.

Q: Why tour Bryce and Zion when I can go to the Grand Canyon?

A. We offer a slightly longer tour that includes both of these great National Parks as well as the Grand Canyon. However, for those who are shorter on time and who want the most out of their trip, we have found that the unique beauty of each of these parks is just as great as the Grand Canyon, and you can experience two different areas within a short period of time.

Q: Why should I choose your tour company over the competition?

A: This is probably the easiest question for us to answer. You should choose us because we are the best and we treat you like a member of our family that we are taking to wild and beautiful areas that we know intimately. We are excited about these areas because we love to tour them ourselves. Our tours to Bryce and Zion are adventures, not just sitting in a bus and watching the scenery through the windows. We get out into the environment. We hike, walk, photograph, camp, horseback ride and experience the beauty of Bryce and Zion just like the explorers who first came to the American Southwest. We learn from the original inhabitants of these areas. We respect the land, and want you to be just as excited and overwhelmed as we were the first time we saw it.

Testimonials

There were total 12 of us in this tour. It was an interesting international combination and we fitted in the van perfectly as we are all in average size. Our tour guide Michael is knowledgeable, friendly and always tried to accommodate our request.

Do not miss out the Antelope Canyon (optional item) , Its one the best spots in this tour.

The tour was the best as we had good tour guide and a group of good people! all the places are worth-seeing and itinerary is well arranged. Thanks mike and Bindlestiff Tours!

A 3-day national park tour that you CANNOT miss!

Bindlestiff Tours was the highlight of our trip to the USA. We took a national parks tour to Zion, Monument Valley, Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon, Bryce and the Grand Canyon. High quality tour with fabulous hotels- And I found all the hot tubs!
We never went away hungry from the food choices Khriss made which included the surprise “Home made pie”, the chocolate cookies he provided for us during the long drives were very much appreciated.

Indeed, our group, to a person, said unsolicited that Khriss was the BEST driver/guide they had ever had and valued his shared knowledge, his expertise, his professional, punctual service, his books, and his patience. They especially remembered his contagious smile, Southern wit, love of John Wayne and the West, and his amazing ability to have all our luggage [those big bags our girls always take] in place at the agreed departure time! Yes, we had a great time and are so appreciative of Khriss, who went above and beyond to see to the needs of everyone in our group. I speak for the group in thanking you all for a wonderful and unique SW experience! THANK YOU!

Our small group had a very best trip to the SW US!

I recently came back from USA and I felt I had to share my experience with everyone.
After a lot of research in internet about which Company to use to travel from Vegas and see the Grand Canyon and the highlights around there, I am so happy I finally chose Bindlestiff tours.
My highlight of the trip was of course the helicopter flight over Grand Canyon, which was breathtaking. I would advise anyone to book the 55 mins flight in advance to avoid disappointment, for a bit more money than the 20 mins flight, you will be able to explore the Canyon best.
Our guide, Mike, was very knowledgeable , funny but professional and made the whole group bond. We started as 12 strangers and ended the tour as friends .The fact of being a small group made the interaction with each other very easy .
I felt this trip met my expectations if not exceeded them. This is a great choice if you don’t have a lot of time to drive freely and you want to see the National Parks highlights around Vegas.
If you are looking and looking and you are not sure which Company you should go for, don’t think anymore. Choose Bindlestiff tours and it won’t disappoint !

I cannot recommend this trip and Company enough

I spent 3 of my best days in the US on that tour. Perfectly organized and guided by JD Boyle, it gives the opportunity to visit legendary places and really feel the desert. To see the moon rise and the night fall over Monument Valley and the first sun rays above the same rocks the next morning was a dream come true. Thanks JD, thank you Bindlestiff! I hope to travel again with you some day:)

National Parks Mini Explorer

Last summer I booked a 3 day trip covering Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley, Horseshoe bend, Grand Canyon, departing and end at Vegas. After one year, I still think this is the best trip I ever booked from a tour company. I was extremely lucky to have Vern as our guide & lead (also driver), a guy with great personality, also so experienced and professional in organizing everything. We were able to be quite flexible in deciding how long we wanted to stay in each place, which hiking trek to take, etc. I enjoyed every hiking route Vern recommended! I was travelling solo and was a bit concerned if I would be totally comfortable in joining a group tour, but it proved my concern was nonsense. The others in the group were very easy going and we got along well.

Every park has its own uniqueness and amazing views. I loved every place really. The highlight for me is Monument Valley, apart from the sunrise (we had a great camping spot for watching sunrise!) and the safari tour, the whole place just felt so spiritual (my very personal feeling).

I never felt rushed or bored during the 3 days. Most of the time I even forgot I was travelling with a tour company, I felt I was just travelling with a group of friends. Arizona and Utah not only have unique nature landscapes but also interesting social and culture characters.

I would love to highly recommend Bindlestiff to everyone. If I have the chance, I will do another trip with Bindlestiff.
